Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 130 - 129: Escape from Death

Chapter 130: Chapter 129: Escape from Death

Lin Nianhe tucked away the stun gun just a second before Biaozi reached out towards her.

Because suddenly, she remembered that jabbing someone with this thing would leave a burn mark.

She didn’t want to leave that kind of risk unless absolutely necessary.

The next second, glimpsing the turbulent dark clouds above, she also stashed away her dagger and instead took out a bottle of ether.

After taking a deep breath and holding it, Lin Nianhe uncapped the bottle and poured the liquid toward those two sleazy fellows.

The liquid soaked their clothes and quickly evaporated, emitting a faint sweet scent.

Biaozi was confused: "What’s that?"

Before he finished speaking, he staggered.

"You, you..."

Lin Nianhe, still holding her breath, covered her nose and mouth with her sleeve.

"Rumble rumble—"

A roll of thunder crossed the sky.

When huge raindrops fell, Biaozi and his brother collapsed onto the ground.

They might not have been fully unconscious yet, but it was enough.

The rain washed away the remaining sweetness in the air, and Lin Nianhe, pondering for a moment, restrained the urge to stab each with her dagger.

"You got lucky."

Lin Nianhe snorted softly and dashed away, even leaving a shoe print on Biaozi’s hand, almost enough to wake him up.

The rain was heavy, and the streets were deserted.

Lin Nianhe took a complicated route down an alley, then pulled an inconspicuous black raincoat from her space.

The wide brim covered most of her face, hiding her striking white shirt.

Lin Nianhe didn’t go straight out but instead, fiddled with a burlap sack from the space, filling it with cotton until it was bulging and shouldered it out of the alley.

In this disguise, she feared meeting no one but Wang Wei face-to-face.

Lin Nianhe walked briskly with her head slightly bowed, trying to appear as nonchalant as possible.

She remembered the old man’s words when she was climbing the wall, so she didn’t head toward the police station but directly towards Su Yuncheng’s house instead.

By this time, it was already past seven o’clock. Due to the rain, there were few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally she saw some sneaky individuals not even wearing raincoats, which Lin Nianhe chose to ignore.

And those people did not take a second glance at Lin Nianhe—an escaped young girl wearing a raincoat and carrying a sack?

With that, Lin Nianhe safely turned into the alley where Su Yuncheng’s house was located.

There was no one in the alley, only the lights were on.

She found a corner, stashed both the sack and the raincoat into her space.

The heavy rain instantly drenched her hair and clothes.

Lin Nianhe’s hands were cold, and with some difficulty, she reattached the dagger to her lower leg, then sprinted at full speed, feeling her heart racing and breath short, until she stopped in front of Su Yuncheng’s house.

As expected, the iron gate was shut, Su Yuncheng was not home.

This time, Lin Nianhe did not climb the wall but went directly to the lit Zhou Family next door and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

The voice of Eldest Sister-in-law Zhou came from inside.

Lin Nianhe, with a trembling voice, answered, "Sister-in-law Zhou? It’s me, Lin Nianhe."

"Ah?"

Eldest Sister-in-law Zhou was clearly stunned for a moment, then cautiously cracked the door open.

She saw the pitiful look on Lin Nianhe’s face and quickly pulled her inside the house: "What happened to you? Why did you come here so late at night?"

She held an umbrella for Lin Nianhe, looking at her little face pale from cold, and didn’t mind the wetness on her clothes, wrapping an arm around her shoulders as they walked inside.

Before entering the room, Eldest Sister-in-law Zhou shouted inside: "Husband, go to Xiao Fen’s room first."

"Ah? Oh." Zhou Chen responded and stood up with a bowl to hide in his daughter’s room.

Eldest Sister-in-law Zhou pulled Lin Nianhe into the house and instructed her daughter, "Xiao Fen, go pour a bowl of hot water."

"Okay." The six-year-old girl crisply responded, obediently putting down her chopsticks to fetch the water.

Eldest Sister-in-law Zhou half-supported Lin Nianhe toward another room, while speaking, "Come, change your clothes first, don’t get sick. Tell sister-in-law, what happened? Did Xiao Su bully you?"

"No," Lin Nianhe wasn’t in the mood to change clothes, she spoke first, "Sister-in-law, I was kidnapped... I just escaped, it was near the town’s scrap station, I overheard them planning to use me to threaten Brother Yuncheng to release someone."

Lin Nianhe spoke quickly, but very clearly.

Eldest Sister-in-law Zhou’s eyes widened in shock: "What? Kidnapped?"

Lin Nianhe nodded vigorously: "Yes, it happened this afternoon... Is it possible for Eldest Brother Zhou to inform Brother Yuncheng?"

"Okay, okay." Eldest Sister-in-law Zhou stuffed a towel into her hands, "Wipe yourself first, I’ll go tell your brother."

Eldest Sister-in-law Zhou then turned and left.

Lin Nianhe distractedly wiped her hair with the towel, her face slightly pale.

Soon, Zhou Chen’s voice came from outside: "Lin Family girl, tell me carefully, what exactly happened?"

Knowing that Zhou Chen also worked for the Public Security, Lin Nianhe reiterated the location and the approximate number of people and particularly mentioned a distinctive dog.

Finally, she requested, "Eldest Brother Zhou, please inform Brother Yuncheng to call the production team for me to report my safety."

Zhou Chen admired Lin Nianhe’s courage; although she did not detail how she had escaped, it was truly remarkable for such a young girl.

He responded, "Alright, just stay at home with your sister-in-law, don’t go anywhere, wait for Xiao Su to return."

After speaking, he put on a raincoat and rode out.

Eldest Sister-in-law Zhou brought in a bowl of hot water, saying to Lin Nianhe, "Quick, drink some hot water to warm up, I’ll find you some clothes... they’re not new, don’t mind."

Lin Nianhe took the bowl with both hands, shaking her head with a smile: "I’ve caused trouble for you, sister-in-law. I’m really sorry."

"Nonsense," Eldest Sister-in-law Zhou searched for clothes while speaking, "If it weren’t for Xiao Su looking after my brother-in-law when he was in the army, he would have lost his life many times. Besides, your brother works in Public Security, it’s his job to handle such matters."

Eldest Sister-in-law Zhou pulled out a floral shirt and placed it on the kang bed, saying, "This was something I wore when I was unmarried, can’t wear it after getting married, make do with this... go ahead and change, I’ll prepare some food for you."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Hey, any more politeness and I’ll shoo you out."

"Hehe..."

When Zhou Chen arrived at the police station, he happened to encounter Su Yuncheng with a grim face walking out.

As Su Yuncheng walked, he habitually checked his magazine, his demeanor scaring his colleagues to keep their distance.

Su Yuncheng was different from them; he had seen battlefield service. Usually his stern face was intimidating enough, but now it was even more so...

Seeing so many people gathered, Zhou Chen immediately realized the news of Lin Nianhe’s kidnapping had spread and he quickly intercepted: "Xiao Su! Comrade Lin is at my house!"

Su Yuncheng paused: "Hmm?"

"Comrade Lin was kidnapped, she escaped by herself... She’s now at home with your sister-in-law!" Zhou Chen explained rapidly, "Your sister-in-law said she’s unharmed, not injured. Comrade Lin also asked you to call the production team to report her safety."

Su Yuncheng stood silently, and after a long while, he slowly exhaled.

Just when everyone relaxed, Su Yuncheng recited a series of phone numbers: "Brother Zhou, please make that safety call for her."

Zhou Chen repeated the phone numbers several times before suddenly realizing something was amiss: "Then what are you going to do?"

Su Yuncheng stepped into the rain.

"Catch the culprits."

He
